The Seduction of Simple: Why We Stay Stuck in Therapy (and How to Break Free)
from Ditch the Shrink - The Podcast for people who are done being fixed. · host Podcast Studios
The Seduction of Simple: Why We Stay Stuck in Therapy (and How to Break Free) Sometimes we confuse simplicity with stagnation. We call it autopilot. We keep showing up — to therapy, to routines, to obligations — long after they’ve stopped serving us. Why? Because it feels safe. Because it feels easier than asking the hard question: Do I even want to be here? In this episode of DITCH™ the SHRINK, we explore why quitting therapy (or any long-standing habit) feels like stepping into the desert alone, why society labels you a “quitter” for walking away, and why we ignore the very intuition that’s trying to set us free. If you’ve ever wondered why change feels terrifying, or why you keep showing up out of obligation instead of growth, this one’s for you.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ditch-the-shrink-the-podcast-for-people-who-are-done-being-fixed--6583780/support.
